History
CollabNet was founded in July, 1999 by Tim O'Reilly and Brian Behlendorf, co-founder of the Apache project.[1] Bill Portelli joined CollabNet as its founding CEO in August, 1999, and still holds that position.[2]
CollabNet was founded with the goal of extending the principles and tools used in open source projects such as the Apache Web Server and Linux into the commercial enterprise. These open source development tools were evolved into CollabNet's commercial product - TeamForge. In addition, CollabNet created a set of practices it calls “Inner Source”, which brings open source development methods to its developers inside and outside of their company.
In 2000, CollabNet founded the open source project Subversion, a version control system[3] with over 5 million users. CollabNet has over 2,300 enterprise customers, 300,000 subscribers, and over 4.0 million users.
In February 2010, CollabNet acquired Danube, a company specializing in Agile/Scrum management software tools (including ScrumWorks), consulting, and training.
CollabNet's products
Commercial Offerings
CollabNet Subversion, now called CollabNet Subversion Edge[4], is CollabNet's distribution of Subversion for Windows, Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Solaris. CollabNet Subversion comes with extras such as ViewVC and an out-of-the-box recommended configuration of Subversion.
CollabNet's core product, CollabNet TeamForge[5], specifically targets Application Lifecycle Management for distributed software teams. TeamForge is an integrated web based platform that enables these teams to work collaboratively through the various stages of the ALM lifecycle - Plan, Code, Track, Build and Test, Lab Management, Release, Report, and Collaborate.
CollabNet Lab Management[6], an option to CollabNet TeamForge, is a cloud based service that enables IT users to configure environments, upload software assets, set up and tear down lab environments, and manage projects. Lab Management provisions from a pool of virtual and physical servers in a company's private data center or a public cloud, like Amazon EC2 and CollabNet OnDemand.
CollabNet ScrumWorks Pro[7] is CollabNet's agile management software designed to scale from the workgroup to the enterprise. Provided as stand-alone software or tightly integrated into CollabNet TeamForge, ScrumWorks Pro builds the Scrum framework into the product management workflow, allowing users to actively manage the product release cycle, while also monitoring sprint progress at the team level.
CollabNet ScrumCORE Training[8] is CollabNet's Scrum course offering and Certified Scrum Trainer expertise that has trained thousands of scrum masters at hundreds of companies.
Other Open Source Projects
Aside from sponsoring Subversion, CollabNet also produces the open source CollabNet Desktop - Eclipse Edition,[9] released under the Eclipse Public License. This software integrates with the Eclipse programming environment and allows developers to connect to subversion repositories as well as servers running CollabNet TeamForge, and CollabNet Lab Management. CollabNet also provides Certified Integrations[10] as either open or shared source to both technical and business users that enable the integration of vendor and home-grown software development lifecycle tools into the CollabNet Platform.
